How to travel around Lithuania by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Lithuania

  • Check domestic flight details before booking
    This page does not currently list a verified, publicly bookable domestic passenger timetable. That reflects the information verified for this page; it does not confirm that private, charter, humanitarian, sightseeing or other special flights are unavailable. Before booking, confirm the airport pair, operating date, passenger eligibility and ticket availability with the operator.

Arriving from another country

  • Find the baggage handler for your airline
    Vilnius airport directs lost or damaged baggage enquiries to the ground handling company serving the airline, identifiable through its airline directory. Do not assume one handler serves every airline.
  • Check Schengen entry conditions for your traveler category
    Lithuania’s MFA guidance is for third-country nationals: for intended stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period, travelers may need a short-stay visa if required, a valid travel document, a justified visit purpose and sufficient means. The document generally must remain valid for at least three months after intended departure and have been issued within the previous 10 years; a justified emergency exception may apply. Check current MFA rules for your nationality and case.

Before you fly to Lithuania

Complete these checks before departure.

Use the desk assigned to your flight for baggage drop

Vilnius airport directs checked bags to the desk assigned to the flight; only some airlines offer self-service drop-off. Check the actual airline and counter rather than assuming every carrier supports self-service.

Check cabin-liquid limits for your departure airport

Limits differ by departure airport. The current VNO and KUN airport FAQs allow hand-luggage liquids in containers up to 2 litres; VNO also says liquids and electronic devices can remain in the bag at security. PLQ requires containers no larger than 100 ml in one 1-litre bag. PLQ allows prescribed liquid medicines over 100 ml when required for the trip, but passengers must take them out and show the prescription to security before screening. Cabin-baggage allowances can vary by airline; confirm the departure airport and carrier rules.
